Features

Players dig for fossils and use the touch screen of the Nintendo DS system to hammer, chip, drill and brush away the bits of rock around the fossil. When their efforts result in the buildup of dust, players blow into the Nintendo DS microphone to blow the dust away.

The game rates players on how well they handle the fossils during the cleaning process. The more carefully and completely a player cleans a fossil, the more powerful the vivosaur will be in battle. Vivosaurs can also gain more power through battles.

Players must collect various parts of each vivosaur. The head must be found first to bring a vivosaur to life while the body, arms and legs can be added to increase its power on the battlefield and imbue it with special powers.

The game features an engrossing role-playing storyline and vast environments for players to explore.

Players can connect wirelessly with friends to battle or trade their fossils.

Rating: 4/5Good game for a tween

This review is from: Fossil Fighters Nintendo DS Game

Pros: My son got this as a birthday gift and practically hasn't stopped playing it. It's a unique little game of fossil hunting and uncovering bones while dueling other "dinosaur" fossils fight back. He loves it. And the price was great for an inexpensive birthday gift.

Cons: None

Rating: 3/5Not too bad...

Cons: - Kind of linear for an RPG like this. It's not like Pokemon where you just have a two second tutorial teaching you the basics and then it throws you out into the world for you to do whatever you wish; The game constantly barrages you with tutorials and quests in order to progress in the game.- Almost no random encounters in the game. All battles happen at pre-determined locations.- Cutscenes are annoying.- The graphics are pretty meh, even for a DS game. Apparently humans in the Fossil Fighters universe don't have knees or elbows, so it looks like everyone moonwalks when they move around. The battle animations are nothing special, either.- Bland and generic soundtrack.- Can't rotate the camera in the overworld areas. Not too bothersome, but it would be nice.

Other Thoughts: It's not bad, but it's nothing special, either. This will most likely end up being the game you play when you really have nothing better to do. Younger, pre-teen folks might enjoy it, though.
